pretty byrd… this post is LOOOONG overdue.  I love Fort Worth, we know this. And I am smitten with this little gem! Byrd + Bleecker is really the store that inspired my article in the November issue of FD Luxe (you can visit the link on B+B’s blog here or here in case you missed the article or don’t live in the area). This chic little boutique has pretty much every thing I love down to a sweet puppy and part-time mascot, Dice and Grover the cat to greet you upon arrival. Byrd + Bleecker is chalked full of fabulous tidbits of home furnishings, yummy candles, a great stockpile of “couture” books and a huge range of gorgeous stationery.

Style savvy owner, Libby Pettit Johnson, was a busy bee last year. She launched a new online store, redesigned her identity with the talented Jessica Hische and revamped a darling B+B website - (all three are amazingly well done and we know I’m picky about that sort of thing) - but to top it all off she also became a “Mrs.” this New Years Eve. So a BIG congratulations to Libby and her new Husband, Weldon!! Very happy for them!

Enjoy!

Adorable storefront. There’s even a little half door for furry store pets.

Everyone meet Dice. Dice, meet everyone.

Back to the amazing assemblage of “couture” books. I would give my left arm to have each one of them grace my bookshelf….Libby’s pulled everything from Kelly Wearstler’s latest gorgeous book, HUE, to the Sartorialist’s new book. The collection ranges from coloring books (Charlie Harper) to fashion, photography and interior love. All fabulous. This particular book was covered in cheese cloth. Very cool. They are like art in themselves.

Lux stationery from greeting cards to custom invitations. All REALLY good paper. This is one of those stores you know you can always pop in and pick up a great gift and usually end up leaving with a little something for yourself too. Everybody needs to treat themselves to a little somethin’ sometimes!

I shot this photo in the fall but I thought this laser cut calendar was super cool. The illustrations and the details… I need to use that process on a project soon….
